In Order to live, we eat food that gives energy.So we eat to alive.But we should not live to eat.Our scriptures say" Enjoy the world but not let the world enjoy you.You may eat food but not let the food eat you."
Food is what we eat through our mouth.But whatever we inhale through our senses say feeling they also a sort of food.What we eat through the mouth supports our body.but the experiences we grasp through our senses shape our personality.What we see,hear,smell,touch all these give a shape to one's personality.
Gita say's "For him whose habits of eating and recreation are controlled and regulated who is balanced in sleep and working, and whose actions are.disciplined yoga becomes the destroyer of pain.
Thus food decides what we are.Food we eat can keep our minds quiet,positive and under control.Such food is known as satwik food.Yoga desirable three types of food,of rajasik and tamasik. Example for satwik food.Fruits and vegetables,milk,honey,dry fruits,lemon whole grain cereals etc.Rajasik foods stimulate the mind and make it restless.For example,tea,coffee cola drinks,salt(in excess),sugar,tobacco etc.They perturb the minds.At certain time the mind go out of control.
Tamasik foods make the mind dull an lazy.Eg.Meat,alcohol,fatty foods,canned food etc.In addition to the type of food ,we should know when we should eat,what combination of foods we have to eat and what temperature we have to eat.Suppose you eat cold food it is not good for the system and is not digested.Similarly you should not eat too hot food.
Eating is not our business. Overeating is still bad. In fact we have to give holiday for eating.That is achieved by fasting atleast once in fifteen days.Our ancestors prescribed 'Ekadasari'the eleventh day in a fortnight as the day for fasting.Fasting removes the impurities of our body and allows the 'prana' to flow evenly.Also fasting prevents us from succumbing to the temptation of food.Ultimate results is we would be able to control our mind.For fasting,must have will power.
While eating,one has to chew the food thoroughly and should never push it down his gullet in gulps.Replace with fruits and vegetables,all eatables that are artificial and processed.Also cultivate the habit of eating only when you are really hungry.
Do your exercises regularly and go for your walk in the mornings or-and after evening meals.If you are so busy and have no time for long walks or exercises,walk not-so nearby places where you usually go by bus or two wheeler s.
Celibacy or restraint is one more important factor in the control of mind.Sex is a need like food.But it has limits.One need not be abstinent from sex for ever.Remember ,sex should be under control.Sex is just a tool in your hand for getting pleasure for a while.It is not bigger than you.Have judicious control of sex.This help to elevate your mind.
